Gun Problem, solved by a modest proposal

You are allowed to have any gun you want, including fully-automatic machine guns. But they all have to come in pink.

Serious, responsible gun owners secure in their sexuality can deal with pink. They aren't idiots and I'm not concerned about what they own.

Irresponsible, insecure types who use a gun to feel like a man and are preoccupied with what others think of them won't be able to work through their own mental block. "How can a gay gun make me look like a baller?" Gun violence ends overnight. The nation heals.

Of course, this will only work so long as the most ignorant among us continue to hate the gays. If they do become more accepting, we could go back to ridiculous levels of gun violence.

4. if guns only came in pink- pink would be the new 'macho' colour.

6. Of course I was being silly

But I don't doubt that would be the real outcome if someone took me seriously and put it into practice. Gangsta rappers would be wearing pink everywhere, Susan G. Komen would sue the shit out of them for infringement, dogs and cats would live together, mass hysteria.
